As Airline Owner said, excuse my ignorance but what the hell happened to them?

I guess this explains why 3 of their 747-200’s are parked up at Filton, i can only assume they are there for a cargo conversion for MK airlines? anyone know anything about this?
I will try to pop down there and get some photos in the next week before they disappear

Moggy lay off dood, thats the beauty of public forums, such diversity, we all can’t be as articulate and coherent as you :rolleyes:
I just think all this persecution of Robert has gone a little too far now, so he makes some spelling mistakes, so what, we generally know what hes trying to say so come on give the lad a break 🙂

I’ve just worked it out, it’s a plot! Fiendishly clever too! R. Weaver (Safe Legal Flying) might not be a 16 year old tyro. He could be a crusty old Captain with so many thousands of hours to his credit he drags his log books around in an ASDA trolley. Having flown a Spitfire on the first thousand bomber raid he was a Captain on Boeing 707’s even before the jet engine was invented. There is a rumour that he was Pontious Pilate’s Private Pilot (Alliteration, Robert, check the dictionary)

So, it’s all been a con, he’s been having us on all along.

Just noticaed that an anagram of R. Weaver is we averr. Averr meaning to state firmly – the truth. See?Everything he says must be right.

Regards,

kev35 (NOT really replying to R. Weaver as he has told me I can’t and if I should I am very concerned about collateral damage when he throws his teddies out of the pram.)

sorry to add another post below 🙂

End of the day you have to use a method you are comfortable with and one that is as safe as practically possible i.e. no head down in cockpit for prolonged periods, and if this means using a calculator then so be it, but there are arguments for not “losing” the necessary practical skills that has been developed in using “traditional” methods and which is a view I fully back, its the same old arguement about manual navigation or GPS? 🙂

Id never use a whizzwheel in the air to be honest, i would use that method i just stated above ^ or something i did on my skills test was draw a compass on my plog with different wind correction angles going around the spoke for that particular heading plus the groundspeed along side, it actually looked quite neat hehe.

I know this wasnt in the original question but this method may help whilst in flight Robert for diversions etc.

as for a headwind component in a crosswind use the clock method for quick reference for diversions, if you are flying a heading of 270 deg and the wind is 225/20 then the heading difference is 45 deg, so look on your watch and say that 45 is ¾ the way round clock face so take ¾ of the wind for crosswind so thats 15kts xwind and 5 kts headwind, and for 15 deg difference in heading to wind direction you take ¼ of the wind speed for xwind and ¾ for headwind, and if wind is 30 deg off heading then you take ½ and ½, same applies for a tail wind too 🙂 once you deciphered this info you can then work out your groundspeed easliy by adding (if its tailwind) or subtracting (if its a head wind) the head/tail components from your TAS.

ive been to Australia a few times now but in 2000 we went and we were flying on the Qantas 747-sp’s from Singapore to Cairns with a stop off at Darwin, i was apprehensive to say the least, but it turned out to be the most wonderful flight of the whole trip, what a beautiful aircraft she was, but i must say sat next to the window through the night was the coldest experience ive had on a plane hehe, damn me and my incessant desire to have a window seat 😀

edited cos i can’t spell
